So this is the reason that the wine1.2 package actually contains wine 1.1?! That’s caused endless irritation for me and sure for some other people, because I believed the whole time I was running the most recent wine version there is when I actually had an older one

I wish you the best of luck, we really need a Wine 1.2 release ASAP.

Release management means that a few specific applications will be selected yet again to have working reliably, right? That’ll be great.

If so, be sure to pick an old 16-bit application too so that 16-bit functionality gets fixed a bit more… (any game that uses Klik’n'Play doesn’t work, for example).

I really have a lot of respect for people like you, who keep the open source world going into the right direction… forward!

“This all changed during Wineconf, when a confluence of angels inspired the Wine developers to select Dan Kegel as the 1.0 release manager. He did the job wonderfully, and Wine 1.0 actually released, to everyone’s surprise.”

Well, Kegel exercises are known to help with difficult births…

“…about as effective as my campaign to get old people to wear their diapers on the outside.”
Why did you have to campaign for that? Because as someone currently working with old people, I must say, at least some apparently listened to you.

Good luck Scott! I know you rock so i’m not much worried, but I hope you can find the energy and motivation to be a release manager. You might want to ask advice to Stephan Arts (starts) and Jannis Pohlmann (jpohlmann) who just rewrote the release process of XFCE. Maybe they can give you hints on the job too.

Good luck! It’ll be great to see Wine 1.2 rock!
